A brutal grinding down from Tiger with maybe a few sparks along the way from Rocky (in desperation). I was going to liken this to the Tiger-DePaula match in which both men hit the deck twice en route to a Tiger decision victory, but that was near the end for Tiger. This, a prime for prime affair, would have Tiger dominating Rocky to the point of a 6th round tko, with Rocky down a few times in the last round, prompting a responsible referee to stop the bout.
Graziano gets underrated. Lesser, less durable fighters went the distance with Tiger. Graziano at his best would give Tiger a decent fight at least.
This is a punchfest Graziano inevitably gets the worst of. Dick Tiger would be too big and strong to overcome. Even if Rocky goes the distance, it would be a Tiger UD that isn't even close.
Not pretty ... Tiger by TKO in about three or four ... to me Rocky really was a junior middleweight and to put him up against the strongest middleweight that ever lived is too much ...
